Earlier this year, my husband and I were invited last minute to a weeklong celebration in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, complete with two themed nights: a pink party and a sparkle party.
A normal ski trip we could handle. But my husband doesn’t own anything pink. More importantly, we knew the type of guests flying in from New York and California to party in the richest county in the United States, inside a mountaintop home with a 360-degree view of the Tetons, would likely bring their fashion A game. Ordering a bunch of cheap pieces overnight from Amazon would be a major sartorial—and sustainability—mistake.
With two days to outfit ourselves, we messaged every person we knew, asking to raid their closet. Finally, someone directed us to Costume Closet, a Brooklyn-based styling business run by former actor Felicia D’Ascanio and her business partner and designer James Richwine.
